Jimmie Johnson Foundation

Chandra and Jimmie Johnson launched the Jimmie Johnson Foundation in 2006. To date, more than $9.5 million has been contributed to various organizations.

The Foundation currently focuses on funding K-12 public education,
primarily through the Jimmie Johnson Foundation Champions Grant program.
Champions Grants have been awarded to 106 school projects located in El
Cajon/San Diego, California,; Muskogee and Tulsa, Oklahoma; and
Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties in North Carolina.

In addition, each year the Foundation selects 5 charities that
support K-12 public education to be featured on Johnson’s Blue Bunny
Helmet of Hope. Charities are nominated by fans nationwide, and are
voted on by the public. Blue Bunny Helmet of Hope charities receive a
cash grant and national exposure on the helmet worn for a select Cup
race.

Finally, the Team Up For Technology program encourages individuals to
nominate a K-12 public or charter school in the United States for the
chance to compete for a $48,000 technology makeover. Ten schools are
selected to submit a video and written application demonstrating why
they need a tech makeover. One school is selected to receive the $48,000
cash grant.

Past Foundation partnerships include working with Hendrick Marrow Program, Project LIFT, San Diego Habitat
for Humanity to construct eight homes on Foundation Lane in El Cajon;
building Jimmie Johnson’s Victory Lanes, a four lane bowling center for
campers at Pattie and Kyle Petty’s Victory Junction in Randleman, N.C;
and funding the construction of the Toddler Playroom at the Ronald
McDonald House of Charlotte. The Foundation continues to work with Make-A-Wish.
